Determine whether AB←→ and CD←→− are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. A(−1, −4), B(2, 11), C(1, 1), D(4, 10)

1 answer:

4 0

Slope of AB
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (11 - (-4))/(2 - (-1))
m = (11 + 4)/(2 + 1)
m = 15/3
m = 5
The slope of line AB is 5

Slope of CD
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (10 - 1)/(4 - 1)
m = 9/3
m = 3
The slope of CD is 3

Since the two slopes are not equal, this means the lines are not parallel.
Since (slope of AB)*(slope of CD) = 5*3 = 15 is not equal to -1, this means the lines are not perpendicular

Answer: Neither (not parallel; not perpendicular)

Answer:

$\boxed{f(6) = 34}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Composition of functions occurs when we have two functions normally written similar or exactly like f(x) & g(x) - you can have any coefficients to the (x), but the most commonly seen are f(x) and g(x). They are written as either f(g(x)) or (f o g)(x). Because our composition is written as $(f \circ g)(2)$ , we are replacing the x values in the g(x) function with 2 and simplifying the expression.

$g(2) = 3(2)$

$g(2) = 6$

Now, because we are composing the functions, this value we have solved for now replaces the x-values in the f(x) function. So, f(x) becomes f(6), and we use the same manner as above to simplify.

$f(6) = (6)^2-2$
